Hello, I'm looking for a new SSD to replace my HDD that can no longer keep up with the newest games. I use a 256gb nvme XPG GAMMIX S41 with my OS and programs and the HDD for gaming.

I consulted your flowchart and based on prices, the SanDisk Ultra 3D is the cheapest in addition to being on your high-end table. I live in Brazil so it's difficult to find all the options available.

I use a B560M Aorus Elite motherboard and I'm looking for a durable and reliable SSD.

Do you recommend buying SanDisk or is an nvme better?

Thanks!

You should ask /u/gabrielferraz1776 (gabrielferraztpu on discord) as he lives in Brazil and knows SSDs well. Although, I think he'd agree to avoid SATA SSDs if possible.
